Their contemporaries spent some time attempting to extend the theory but it would take until the 1870s before Joseph Boussinesq and Lord Rayleigh published a theoretical treatment and solutions.

The history of the KdV equation started with experiments by John Scott Russell in 1834, followed by theoretical investigations by Lord Rayleigh and Joseph Boussinesq around 1870 and, finally, Korteweg and De Vries in 1895.

In fluid dynamics, the Boussinesq approximation (, named for Joseph Valentin Boussinesq ) is used in the field of buoyancy-driven flow ( also known as natural convection ).

Joseph Boussinesq ( 1871 ) and Lord Rayleigh ( 1876 ) published mathematical theories justifying Scott Russell ’ s observations.
